Three good things about being a UH ICS student:

1. You are forced to learn good time management skills and find the lifestyle that fits best for you to succeed.

2. You learn that nothing hard is easy to obtain; advisors advise you that hard work in your classes and taking your time in school will pay off in the long run.

3. The ICS department is one of the best on campus. The staff tries their hardest to get us the best resources. Also, we have a lot of opportunities to find employment on the island due to their connections outside of UH.

1. The online modules and schedule really help keep track of what assignments are due and what we are learning.

2. Getting to experience many different coding languages (so far Java, C, C++, and SQL)

3. A rigorous class load to encourage more efficient matters of productivity.

Good things about being an ICS student:
1. Being an ICS student gives access to cost-reduced software via the MSDN.
2. ICS students at UH Manoa get to learn directly from industry professionals, meaning the information that they get isn't outdated, which is crucial in an industry where things change by the day.
3.  Being an ICS student means I get to interact with possibly future co-workers and industry peers before we get out into the world and build our relationships early.

1) Development on practical computer science skill.

2) Learning how to credit a professional portfolio and connections.

3) A fun and safe learning environment. 

1. Setting up our online persona or reputation through tools such as LinkedIn, TechHui. This will be an essential step post graduation.

2. Teambuilding exercises which build teamwork, a crucial skill for programmers.

3. Passionate professors who contribute majorly to our understanding.

1. Professors are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

2. UH Manoa provides a lot of software for students to use in the program.

3. Lots of emphasis on working in groups since the workforce requires lots of collaboration.

1. You get to learn from many professional professors.
2. Meeting new people who are willing to help each other.
3. Access to many opportunities to careers. 

Three good things about being a UH ICS student:

1. Meeting new people and working together to improve not only group work and communication skills, but also building friendships. Having other people to work with has been greatly beneficial for me because it helped me become exposed to different ideas, and helped me expand my way of thinking. Building these connections also can be beneficial not only from a professional standpoint, but from a personal standpoint as well. Having personal connections with people has helped with building a great support system, which is important when times/classes become difficult. 

2. Using the challenging courses to increase problem solving skills and learn more about the growing field of Computer Science. Computer Science is always changing, and being able to learn great problem solving skills can help increase the ability to adapt in situations that may not be familiar. This skill has helped me not only in past ICS courses figuring out coding problems, but with other classes that require logical reasoning.

3. Gaining knowledge from real ICS professionals about jobs, building a professional profile online, and being able to apply what I learned to not only computer science, but every day life. Having the privilege to be taught by ICS professors that are willing to share their knowledge about the field and always being available for help and guidance has helped me understand what I want to work towards in the field.

1. A vast selection of career paths from Data Science to Cybersecurity and Ethics

2. Meeting new people and the ability to network with Tech Companies.

3. Learning more programming languages and being able to apply them to class assignments

1. Having a common space for the ics students to gather around to seek help makes it a lot easier for students to gain the guidance they need and to also make life long friendships.

2. Having various clubs that relates to computer science helps students find out more about the field that theyre interested in and get a headstart on their career.

3. Some of the ics professors have done a very good job on helping out their students when they need it. They make themselves available and try their best at explaining hard to understand concepts to us. 

1. Having others around you who also are interested in computer science and may have similar goals. Forming bonds and friendships that provide support and open up new opportunities.


2. The events and resources that are available to students. One of them being career fairs, where you get to meet companies that peak your interests. There are also resources UH provides that helps you prepare for career fairs.


3. There are many classes available that ics students can choose. Also, student opinion has a factor on what new classes could be created.

1. The professors and TAs come across as passionate about Computer Science which is encouraging as a student.

2. The ICS program provides a variety of resources and help to ICS students.

3. The ICS program helps to provide opportunities and skills needed for internships, etc.
